- Intervention effect VCL improved stem thickness, leaf area at 30 °C relative to control seedlings.
- Intervention effect VCL improved shoot/root both fresh and dry weight at 30 °C relative to control seedlings.
- Intervention effect At 30 °C, VCL increased total chlorophyll, total sugars and proline in seedlings.
- Intervention effect Under low watering, VCL-treated tomato seedlings had greater Number of leaves, stem thickness than controls.
- Intervention effect VCL elevated Total chlorophyll at the high watering regime.
- Intervention effect VCL declined Total chlorophyll at the low watering regime.
- Intervention effect VCL elevated total sugars at the high watering regime.
- Intervention effect VCL declined total sugars at the low watering regime.
- Intervention effect VCL elevated proline content at the high watering regime.
- Intervention effect VCL declined proline content at the low watering regime.
- Mechanism Changes in compatible solutes and photosynthetic pigments indicate osmotic adjustment under stress.
- Recommendation Authors recommend VCL as a soil amendment to improve tomato growth under temperature and water stress.
